OpenAI Codex CLI v0.150.1 backports remote compaction fix: retained images now count toward the token budget
OpenAI
Released Aug 27, 2026 (PR #41003, by rhan-oai). Remote compaction now counts retained images toward its token budget by default and trims older images as needed, instead of letting image retention silently push the session past its limits. No new features, command changes, or breaking API modifications beyond that single change.
Why it matters
Targets the most common silent-overflow failure mode for long Codex sessions that retain images (screenshots, design mocks, screenshots from browser tools) — directly affects context reliability for image-heavy workflows.
